4 Intended use
The cooler is suitable for cooling and freezing foods. The device is
also suitable for use on boats.
The device is designed to be operated from a 12 VDC or 24 VDC
on-board supply socket of a vehicle (e. g. cigarette lighter), boat or
caravan.
INote
To operate the device at the AC mains supply, we recommend us-
ing one of the following WAECO rectifiers:
– 220–240 V: CoolPower EPS100
– 110–240 V: CoolPower MPS35
aCaution – When cooling perishable medicines!
If you wish to cool medicines, please check if the cooling capacity
of the device is adequate for this purpose.
5 Function description
The cooler can chill products, keep them cool as well as freeze
them. A maintenance-free refrigerant circuit with compressor
provides the cooling. The extra strong insulation and powerful
compressor ensure especially fast cooling.
The cooler is designed for mobile use.
When used on boats, the cooler can be withstand a constant heel
(inclination) of 30°.
An integrated dual-level battery monitor prevents your vehicle
battery from being discharging too low.
